RORSCHACHA Complexity of its own

Walter J. Kovac or famously known as "Rorschach", was born in New York City in 1940.Not having a father from an early age, to support Walter, his mother worked as a prostitute. Blaming him for her problems, she repeatedly beat him and wished she had an abortion.It wasn't until 1951, when two bullies pushed Walter to his breaking point, where Rorschach was born. He bites off one the bullies ear, and attacks the other one. From a young age, because of his abuse, Rorschach struggles in social situations. Also, from a young age he was known as an "underdog" for being small and squirmy. After the incident, Rorschach was sent to Lillian Charlton Home for Problem Children until 1956, until he started working at a garment factory. He showed strong academic and physical progress at the school, but still was haunted by his past. The main question behind this character, is what drives him to be the anti-hero he is and why are his methods so flawed?

How can PAIN push a man to his limits...

The PAIN of not having a father...

The PAIN of having a mother who doesn't care

The PAIN from being too small to stand up for yourself

The PAIN from being bullied

PAIN can make men violent.

Anger raging throughout his veins.

Taking over his thoughts and turning him into the person he TRULY is.

PAIN to the point where he accepts himself for the monster he is.

Pushing his body to his physical limits, as the adrenaline rush from violence is addictive.

From a young age, Rorschach was mentally and physically abused by his mother. She would beat him and call him names. She worked as a prostitute to support him, but the money she made was not enough to support them both.

PAIN that turns an innocent boy...

into a merciless monster...

Rorschach was constantly bullied, and when two kids teased him over his mother, he bit one of the bullies ear off and partially blinded the other one.

After this incident, he was moved to a school for troubled kids until the age of sixteen, where after he worked at a garment factory.

People fail to realize… how dark he truly is…

You see the fighting skills…

Intimidating costume…

But you don’t see the pain that drives his actions…

During the day, he is a nobody...

At night, his true identity is revealed….

He used his power to fight crime and bring about justice...

His methods were flawed, but got results

The only thing that mattered to him was people’s actions and how they carried themselves..
